Recently, we have been getting a lot of you asking about variations and if you should variate your product.
The answer used to be very simple: yes, because just last year Amazon would combine the reviews making it an automatic win. But within the last year, Amazon has slowly removed combining reviews just because a given product has variations, so now wondering what to do with your variations.
To simplify things, we have created a pros and cons list:
Pros:
- Amazon may potentially combine the reviews again. If that happens, it’s worth keeping your variations together
- Cross selling is easier for customers and potentially increases your order value
- Higher sales conversions because all options for a product are in one spot
Cons:
- Losing real estate in the search results. When you combine a listing it will limit you to only show one listing on a given term, instead of splitting up all your product options
- One product variation brings down the whole listing. On occasion, one variation does less well than the rest and brings down the overall real estate on the listing
